hello, i have ate all over the myrtlebeacharea, north to south. from the calabashes to to the regular chains. hands down "big mikes" is phenomenal! wonderful service and friendly staff with home cooking to rival my own mothers. the fried chicken, the meat loaf , the the fish is like no other, the sides are perfection. this food actually had flavor. being from west virginia we know home/soul food like no one else. i have never been satisfied with a meal at thebeachany more than at "big mikes!" oh, one more thing the portions are awesome and the price is great. thanks big mike!!!!
